Kyle, in 2024 in Books: After reading the first book in the Alcatraz series, my kids and I read this one together. First, in the mornings before school and then later together while on a road trip. Brandon Sanderson proves shockingly adept at both mass sweeping stories, like The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn, and engaging children’s literature here as well.
